Rascal's Story...

Rascal's Story...

Rascal is a male Aussie mix found as a stray. He has a beautiful black and white merle coat. Estimated to be around 8 years old by looking at teeth. He was with foster after being pulled from pound and got in fight with another male dog over a food item and the fosdter got bnit trying to break it up. Rascal has since been living in another foster home with many dogs sizes 10# - 100# and so far has shown no aggression issues. He has been tried inside but "marked" so spending most of summer outside with doggie door to air conditioned room. Because of his bite history with original foster, probably best not to adopt out to people with small kids.<br>----------------------------------------------------------------- <br/>This listing was updated on 4/11/2016.

About Our Rescue Group...

Saving the Animals of Rowan is a 501c3 organization committed to improving the conditions for the abandoned dogs of Rowan County, KY. Our few members work to find safe and loving homes or rescues for dogs that find themselves in the Tri-County Animal Shelter. STAR members are dedicated to reducing the number of dogs euthanized due to the overcrowded conditions of this rural shelter.

STAR is not the dog pound. We are a small group of caring people who save shelter dogs. Our goal is to get dogs out of the pound and to the safety of a rescue or a new home. We can only help dogs outside the pound when space and funds are available. If you are local you can either give STAR a few weeks to work on placement for your dog or you can take your dog to the shelter and we will assess it there. We work solely on donations and are always in need of more local foster homes in the Rowan County KY area.

Come Meet Our Pets...

Meetings with STAR dogs are by appointment, after an application has been screened/approved.

Our Adoption Process...

Application, vet reference check, home visit, meet-n-greet with the dog and all of your family members (2-legged and 4-legged) to see if it's a good fit. STAR will ALWAYS take back any dog if the adoption doesn't work out for any reason. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm tested (treated if positive), dewormed, treated for fleas/ticks/mange as needed, and vaccinated with the first distemper combo and rabies vaccines.
